Standard tire size for a 15" Rim for a Civic (before 2001 model) is 195/55/15
I went with a 205/50/15 cause it give you a wider tire, and will be the same diameter as the standard size...

Standard tire size for a 16" rim for a Civic (before 2001 model) is 205/45/16 which i used...

I guess I get bored of the look fairly fast, then wanna change it...
I don't keep them all, I just get rid of them for new ones...

And then I jumped on the "smaller, dark colored wheel" bandwagon. After a spray of Gunmetal Wheel Paint (July 2002):

14" SSR RS8 - Black (August 2002):

16" Volk Racing TE37 (borrowed from a buddy, April 03)

The red was getting too bright, so I painted the RS8's gunmetal (May 2003):

And finally to my current rollers, 15" Rota Group N (June 03):
